Procedure

The Implant has 3 parts:

Abutment – A connector that links dental implant to replacement teeth

After initial consultation, examination and tests, a treatment plan for dental implant is developed. Treatment with dental implants involves several stages as follows:

A cylindrical or tapered titanium post is positioned in the jawbone surgically.
Osseo-integration helps the implant and the natural bone to fuse, establishing a firm and durable replacement to missing tooth during the healing process.
An abutment is placed on the dental implant which acts as a link between implant and the crown portion.

Soft foods are recommended for a few days after surgery. Proper cleaning of teeth is a must. Recovery is easy and hassle free.
